THOUGHTS FROM A YOUTH SPONSOUR

Here is are some thoughts from Briana Baker.


So, I'm reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan right now. Last night after
youth, I read this, It connected to what we were talking about, which I
thought was definitely a God thing :-)

"The Rooted.

The average Christian in the United States spends ten minutes per day
with God; meanwhile, the average American spends over four hours a day
watching television.
Perhaps TV is not your thing--maybe you don't even own one. But how
about your time and your resources? How much of your money is spent on
yourself, and how much is directed toward God's kingdom? How much of
your time is dedicated to pursuing your life and your goals, and how
much is focused on God's work and purposes?

God doesn't want religious duty. He doesn't want a distracted,
half-hearted, 'Fine, I'll read a chapter...now, are You happy?'
attitude. God wants His Word to be a delight to us, so much so that we
meditate on it day and night.

In Psalm 1, He promises that those who do so are 'like a tree planted by
streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does
not wither. Whatever he does prospers' (v. 3).

People who are OBSESSED with God have an intimate relationship with Him.
They are nourished by God’s Word throughout the day because they know
that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole
week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and
alternative messages.”
